Maureen, you WILL get to a peaceful place again. The only way OUT is THROUGH. Today I was reading my journals that I kept during treatment. I expressed so many of the things you are experiencing now. The fears and worry. Second guessing. It was horrible some days. But it is behind me.
Would it make you feel better to get another opinion about your course of treatment? Just to get peace of mind? It does sound as though your doctor is sensitive and you trust her.
But I love what Debbie said. At some point we just have to trust the process and a higher power once we have made our decisions. Living a day at a time.
We all remember what it is like to be feeling as you do. Hard to believe, but some day it will be behind you.
Keep the faith.
